Hint: In the unfortunate event that malware ever does evade your defensive measures,
you can always use TriCaster’s Restore TriCaster function to completely rehabilitate your
system.)
A.5.6 INSTALL MY FAVORITE SOFTWARE (OR CODEC)?
TriCaster is not a ‘general purpose’ computer. The installed software suite is finely
tuned to provide reliable performance and amazing features. Anything you install
apart from official TriCaster updates places these important goals at risk. Doing so
is strongly discouraged.
Regarding codecs, TriCaster supports the vast majority of popular image, audio and
video formats. That said, hardly a day passes without another new one appearing
on the scene. If a file you would like to use does not play back well (or at all),
consider converting it to a friendlier format.
If you feel the format is so popular that TriCaster should support it, please submit
the details as a feature request. (Please also see Section A.3.8 above.)
SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION:
Q: Can I install the MainConcept AAC Encoder - Plug-In for Adobe® Flash® Media
Live Encoder?
A: This is not required.
A.5.7 CREATE A ‘USER BACKUP’ DRIVE
The Backup and Restore system permits you to create a bootable clone of TriCaster’s
system drive on another (same size) hard drive inserted into one of the removable
drive bays or connected externally for this purpose.
The clone operation includes:
 The hidden, factory-prepared Restore partition
 The complete C partition (uncompressed)
